I wish I could erase the imagery of how I saw you the night you left us.
But the one thing I would not want to forget from that night is how I felt the little warmth, the little spark of life you had left.
Amidst panic and screams, I made sure that I got to hug you for one last time. I made sure that I got to whisper a soft and heartfelt "good night" and "I love you". I don't know if you still heard those words, since they say that the last sense to go is that of sound.
Now, your ashes are inside a beautiful mahogany box and your soul is wandering and dancing in heaven.
Never stop watching over us. Please.
Happy 9th day, Papa. We will never stop missing and loving you.
